Phillip Niere, 38, had threatened to kill staff at a branch of the Noris Bank in Aachen, Germany, if they didn't hand over £200,000.
But he surrendered after an hour when police negotiators convinced him he'd be treated with dignity. "The handcuffs are understandable, but what the police have to explain is why he was brought out with his jeans pulled down and his underwear on show.
"It is clearly a breach of his human rights and caused Mr Niere needless humiliation and embarrassment," said a lawyer.

Sorry, buddy. You lost the right to not be humiliated when you threatened people's lives.
I'm sure they fell down of their own accord - the way they wear them so baggy nowdays.
However much he might have deserved some humiliation, he was still promised to be treated with dignity and that promise was broken. That was dishonorable, shame on the police. Small shame, sure, but shame nontheless.
